Abstract
Simulation is a widely used methodology for queueing systems. Its superficial simplicity hides a number of pitfalls which are not all as well known as they should be. In particular simulation experiments need careful design and analysis as well as good presentations of the results. Even the elements of simulation such as the generation of arrival and service times have a chequered history with major problems lying undiscovered for 20 years. On the other hand, good simulation practice can offer much more than is commonly realized.
